As I walked outside this morning to let my pups out, a blast of cool air hit me. It’s late September and fall is officially here. Already the nights are cooler, and the leaves on my sumac trees are turning red and starting to fall.
The best way to enjoy the cooler evenings is to huddle around a fireplace or outdoor fire pit. Ideally, with friends or family, music, and s’mores. Or, if you prefer the solitude and silence of the night, by yourself.
We are fortunate that we have a large outdoor firepit. One of my favorite memories last summer was sitting around our firepit with friends who were singing, drumming, and playing guitar, while we all took turns roasting marshmallows.
Fire pits come in many different sizes, styles, and prices. Below are 10 striking fire pits, bowls, and rings to warm up your body and your soul.

Made from sturdy steel, it’s available in four diameters—30″, 37″, 48″, and 60″—so you can choose the right size for your backyard gatherings.
The wolf cutouts cast a striking silhouette as the fire glows, making this ring a functional and artistic way to enjoy evenings under the stars.
